Stanley (Dom DeLuise) is a kindhearted, popular troll who can create flowers with a mere touch. When Gnorga (Cloris Leachman), the mean-spirited Queen of the Kingdom of Trolls discovers Stanley's secret, she banishes him to a faraway place where she assumes nothing green can grow - New York City. Taking refuge in Central Park, Stanley befriends two young children, Gus (Phillip Glasser) and his baby sister Rosie (Tawny Sunshine Glover). The three share wonderful adventures until Gnorga decides to let her mischief-making magic loose in the Big Apple. —Lesley Sweeting (Taken from back of R1 DVD cover)

Trivia
Co-Writer and co-Director Gary Goldman said during an interview that the reason the movie did so poorly at the box-office was the fact that it was released without any promotion, and that release was limited. He also stated that its distributor Warner Brothers did not have any confidence in this movie.

Goofs
During the reprise of "Absolutely Green", some of the cities have been covered in plants in different points (the World Trade Center is an example, which was covered in three different points).

Quotes
[first lines]
[Stanley runs and bumps into a troll from behind]
Troll: Hey! Watch yourself!
[Stanley accidentally grows a flower]
Troll: Say, what was that?
[the troll laughs as Stanley drops his bag behind him and the flower jumps in]
Troll: Oh, for a minute, I thought I saw one of them, um, um, uh, flower things.
[the troll laughs]
Troll: That's a relief. I'd sure hate to have to tell the queen. Oh, well, have a rotten day!
[as the troll walks off, Stanley picks up his bag and waves]
Troll: [singing] I'm a bad troll, a very bad troll.
[Stanley's thumb lights up and he quickly hides it behind his back]

Crazy credits
After the credits are over, an image of Stanley appears. His green thumb lights up, and the words "A Don Bluth Presentation" appear, then they vanish.

Alternate versions
The DVD version omits the Warner Bros. logos, as it was released by 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment, which its logo appears instead.

one of the cutest movies ever

I would just like to say that this movie is beautiful -- Stanley is one of the best leading characters of an animated film ever! The visuals of this movie are stunning it wont let you down.... there are just so much emotions in this movie... it makes it hard not to feel for whats going on -- this movie has touched me as a person in many ways... funny story: when i was a child i would always wish for a green thumb on every birthday --- the of the film is the most touching thing you will ever see EVER -- I recommend this movie to the whole family --- The thing that really surprises me is that fact that not many people know about this movie .... I can not get over that fact... Another thing, its not a Disney film but its way up there -- its a work of art.. but see if this movie was Disney it would be all over the place and it would be labeled a classic.... its a real damn shame that this movie does not get any attention. It should also be said that Don Bluth who was the director of this film is also the director of my favorite none Disney movies..... I'm sure if he made more movies he would be called the nest Disney!!!
